Israeli airspace has faced repeated temporary closures in 2026 primarily due to missile and drone threats tied to the US-Israel conflict with Iran, which began with strikes in late February and triggered Iranian retaliation. Closures occurred multiple times through mid-2026 amid direct attacks and proxy activity from groups including Hezbollah, with partial reopenings following ceasefire efforts in April and June that later frayed. As of late September, the Tel Aviv FIR remains open for civilian operations but carries ongoing risk warnings from EASA and several governments through September 30, reflecting persistent volatility from regional military activity and sanctions-related tensions. Scheduled events such as further diplomatic talks or reported escalations near the Strait of Hormuz could influence near-term decisions on restrictions.
